Haywood Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 This week mine was left on the doorstep, wrapped in a white paper which appeared to some kind of delivery note. Previously, since NewsTeam took over, it had always gone through the letterbox and arrived by 7:30am. Not too fussed either way. More concerned about what will happen if we are all away on a Thursday. We will see what happens when we get to a rainy Thursday. Thanks Haywood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Delivered before 7 again, I think that's 6 out of 6 now. Must have a good News Team deliverer round here. Fantastic service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellevueace Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Mine was on the mat at 0500 when I got up, that's three weeks on the trot with no problems now after issues arising during the first three weeks, I suppose there's always glitches with a new service, the service at present is faultless to be fair, hope it's the norm going forward, magazine is always a great read, what a job the team have done during lock down 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawks 1975 Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Hi Phil. Sorry to bother you again, but I have not received this weeks issue - up until now the new system has always seen it here by 9am. How does the new system work? Might it still arrive later today? Should I expect it the following day or should I already be worried that it has not been delivered by 2pm? ! Regards Geoff BR1 3ER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the NewsTeam system picks pop a non-delivery it is immediately scheduled for the next day. Please let us know ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerowl Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) Mine arrived at 4:15 a.m. A satisfying sound of it dropping on the doormat stirred me from my slumber and I turned over for another four hours in bed. Much better then waiting until the postwoman arrives just as the sun is going down, or even worse, having to wait several days while the Royal Mail decide to deliver it. I would also echo the earlier comments of bellevueace re the content. Absolutely outstanding this past year, great content and always an interesting and informative read.

mikebv Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) All the major supermarkets stock it so maybe worth request to stock it (if it doesn't), if you use any of the 'big four'... The SS is on sale at my local Tesco by 8am every Thursday every week, no problem... Edited May 6, 2021 by mikebv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be producing a 64-page pre-season special next week and have also taken the plunge and increased the paper quality which we previously changed to keep us afloat. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 I either pick up the star from Smiths in Liverpool Street or the main Tesco in Chelmsford, Smiths has been very mixed, some weeks loads of copies, others nothing at all but Tesco always has them without fail. I had subbed to the star for many years, probably over 20 but I do prefer buying it off the shelf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noaksey Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 5.20am this morning Working well. Used to get mine from Smiths at Liverpool Street for many many years, glad they still stock it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawks 1975 Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 Hi Phil. Nothing this morning either. I assume it is a problem with NewsTeam, although I paid my sub renewal on 18th April, so not sure exactly when the renewal date was - hopefully it's not a renewal cock-up! Regards, Geoff BR1 3ER.

hawks 1975 Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 Hi Phil, No answer from Dave on that number. Is that a Monday - Friday only business number? I have definitely had it delivered by NewsTeam since you changed - ie no wrapper/address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
